September 2020 APPT Blog Hop

APPT header

Welcome to the September 2020 APPT Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Hello Pumpkin, and it makes the most adorable little treat holders. I used the pieces fro the kit to make a card and a little treat box. My treat box is 4 sided, which is different from the 5 sided one designed by Stampin’ Up! for the kit. I started by popping out all the die cut pieces from their sheets, including all the diamond shapes from the treat holders, saving everything. I used Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue, but you can certainly use the Dimensionals and Glue Dots that came in the kit.

Be sure to hop around to all the stops, so you don’t miss any of the great projects this group has made for you!

Here’s what I did:

Cut along the black lines. Remove the shaded areas.Alternate projects made with the September 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit 'Hello Pumpkin' for the APPT Blog Hop #stampcandy #paperpumpkin #handmadecards #stampinup

 

 

Stamped with the Hello Pumpkin stamp set:

  • card sentiment in Cajun Craze ink onto a die cut label from the kit
  • pumpkin in Pumpkin pie ink onto the inside of the card base
  • pumpkin face in Tuxedo Black Memento ink over the pumpkin

Cut using Paper Snips:

  • halved a small banner for behind the card sentiment

Colored using a Stampin’ Blends Marker:

  • a small Rhinestone Basic Jewel in Dark Shaded Spruce
  • NOTE: I started with the Old Olive and Mossy Meadow markers, since those are the greens in the kit, but I thought the dark Shaded Spruce showed up better against the black cat

Colored using a Sponge Dauber:

  • bottom edges of the box top in Cajun Craze

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the fold in the Whisper White Thick card base with a Bone Folder
  • faint pencil lines drawn onto the Whisper White CS layer, vertical lines 3/4″ apart and horizontal lines 1-1/2″ apart
  • diamond pieces glued onto Whisper White CS layer, using the pencil lines to arrange them evenly
  • any pencil lines that still showed were erased
  • Whisper White CS layer with diamonds glued onto the Cajun Craze CS layer
  • Cajun Craze CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
  • two halves of the small banner glued onto the back of the sentiment
  • sentiment glued onto a black lace die cut piece from the kit
  • two Cajun Craze flowers glued onto the bottom right corner of the sentiment, then the whole piece adhered onto the card front using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • black curly die cut glued onto the card front under the bottom right corner of the sentiment cluster
  • green rhinestone applied onto the cat using the Take Your Pick tool
  • cat adhered onto the card front above the sentiment using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • small pumpkin die cut adhered onto the card front, next to the cat, using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals

Assembled the treat box:

  • burnished the folds in the box with a Bone Folder
  • 1/4″ flap of box glued onto the inside of the opposite side, to form the body of the box
  • end flaps folded in and glued together one at a time to form the bottom

Assembled the treat box lid:

  • burnished the folds in the lid with a Bone Folder
  • 1/4″ flap glued onto the inside of the opposite side, to form the body of the lid
  • end flaps folded in and glued together one at a time to form the top
  • a diamond and a black curly piece glued onto the back of a small pumpkin, then glued onto the front of the box lid
  • NOTE: Since the box and the lid are the same size (width) it helps to squeeze the top of the box a little bit to get the lid over the top.

Warm Hugs Heartwarming Triple Cube Card

Whether it’s a warm cup of coffee or hot cocoa, nothing says Happy Holidays like sharing a warm cuppa with someone special. This is a card for someone extra special in your life. The triple cube card if very popular right now. I decided to change it up a little by having it a full 5-1/2″ tall, instead of the 4″ tall ones I’ve seen. I realize the height doesn’t technically make it a “cube,” but I’m calling it a cube anyway. The base itself is really easy to put together. I used 3 patterns of Designer Series Paper from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. With all the different paper elements, I didn’t feel the need for any embellishments. What do you think?

It folds flat to fit into a Whisper White Medium Envelope!  When folded flat, the card is 4″ x 51/2″. You can see I have a cup sticking out just a little bit on one side. This is okay because the card is 4″ wide instead of the regular 4-1/4″. But be aware of your placement, so you don’t have any thing sticking out too far.Triple Cube Card made with the Heartwarming Hugs Suite Collection, Press On stamp set, Ornate Frames Dies, and Layering Circles Dies #stampcandy #handmadecards #triplecubecards #stampinup #christmas #christmascards

  • 1/4″ section of both of the smaller Pear Pizzazz CS pieces glued onto the inside of the opposite side, to create 2 smaller, open ended “cubes”
  • small cubes glued onto two adjacent sides of the tall cube, at the bottom
  • 4 of the DSP-2 layers glued onto the back and bottom inside of the two small cubes
  • remaining 2 DSP-2 layers glued onto the inside of the tall cube, on the 2 back sides, so you can see them when looking down from the front
  • 2 larger DSP-1 layers glued onto the tall cube above the small cubes
  • 4 remaining DSP-1 layers glued onto the top and front of the small cubes
  • Whisper White CS layers glued onto the 2 back sides of the tall cube
  • NOEL glued onto the Real Red CD die cut
  • one half of each Real Red CS strip glued onto the back of the Real Red die cut, with the fold lines meeting in the middle, so the other halves of the strips stuck out in a V-shape

  • cup with 1/8″ thick rectangle glued onto the the top of the left small cube, gluing the bottom side to the small cube, and the back side to the tall cube
  • 3/8″ thick rectangle cup glued the same way to the left of the first cup, so it sticks out farther
  • 1/4″ rectangle cup glued onto the front of the second cup, with its bottom glued onto the top of the small cube
  • the other cup with a 1/4″ rectangle glued onto the cube on the right, the same way as the others
  • cup with the 1/2″ rectangle glued onto the top of the small cube on the right, with the back glued to the tall cube, so it sticks out farther than the previous cup
  • NOTE: It’s best to let the glue dry completely, to make sure the cups stay in position when the card is folded flat, especially the bottoms.

I drew white lines on this photo to highlight one of the Read Red CS strips on the back of the NOEL sentiment. One half of the strip is glued onto the cube and the other half is glued onto the back of the sentiment. The other strip is glued on the same way on the other side. This is how to attach the flat piece onto the corner:Triple Cube Card made with the Heartwarming Hugs Suite Collection, Press On stamp set, Ornate Frames Dies, and Layering Circles Dies #stampcandy #handmadecards #triplecubecards #stampinup #christmas #christmascards

Autumn is almost here, and today’s project is a thank you card that’s all about the season. I used the Beautiful Autumn stamp set and Stitched So Sweetly Dies to create this simple fun fold card. I also made a coordinating little lip balm gift box, which I’ll share with you in a few days (you can see a sneak peek of it below.)

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

  • Early Espresso card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″ and at 7-1/2″
  • Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 3″ x 5-1/4″ (speckled)
  • speckled DSP layer cut to 1″ x 5-1/4″
  • herringbone pattern DSP layer cut to 5-1/4″ tall by 4 pattern stripes wide (just over 3/4″)
  • acorn/leaf pattern DSP layer cut to 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
  • Very Vanilla CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base

Stamped with the Beautiful Autumn stamp set:

  • sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Early Espresso CS, then heat embossed in gold
  • acorn in Early Espresso ink onto the bottom left corner of the Very Vanilla CS

Cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies:

  • sentiment

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the folds in the card base with a Bone Folder, folding the 1″ section back onto the card front
  • larger speckled DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base (left side and under the folded over flap)
  • acorn/leaf DSP layer glued onto the speckled DSP layer
  • herringbone DSP layer glued onto the flap of the card base
  • flap glued down onto the DSP layers
  • sentiment glued onto the flap and DSP layers, but not the small part hanging off the right side
  • 1″ speckled DSP strip glued onto the right side of the Very Vanilla CS
  • Very Vanilla CS glued onto the inside of the card base
  • If you prefer, you can skip gluing down the flap, and then only glue the sentiment to the flap, leaving the rest loose. I just felt the card would be easier to photograph if I glued them down.

Halloween for September 2020 Candy Hearts Blog Hop

Candy Hearts Blog Hop, September 2020, Halloween

 

Welcome to the September 2020 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Halloween. I used the Festive Corners stamp set, Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder, and Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper to create a spooky fun 3D Pop Up card.

We have two special guests hopping with us today. One is the amazing and talented Mikaela Titheridge of The Crafty Oink Pen, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us. Mikaela has been a member of the prestigious Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team, and her projects are always spectacular. She’s also cute as a button! Next, Pam Morris of Tap Tap Stamp, is joining us on a regular basis, and I know she’ll have a super fun project for us. She is one of my Stampin’ Up! uplines, and she’s an absolute hoot and a half!

Be sure to hop around to all the stops, be cause you definitely don’t want to miss any of the projects from this group of terrific stampers!

  • sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the spider DSP layer (I used my Stamparatus to stamp it a couple of times so it would be nice and dark.)
  • cobweb in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Whisper White Thick CS around the farthest right cut/score line
  • spider in Memento Tuxedo Black ink hanging from the cobweb

Embossed using the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder:

  • Basic Gray CS layer

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the fold in the card base, and all the folds in the Whisper White Thick CS, with a Bone Folder
  • striped DSP layer glued onto the embossed Basic Gray CS layer
  • Metallic Mesh ribbon wrapped around both layers and adhered onto the back using Stampin’ Seal +
  • Basic Gray CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
  • spider DSP layer glued onto the striped DSP layer over the ribbon
  • 3 Iridescent pearls applied onto the striped DSP layer (I like to use the pointy end of the Take Your Pick tool.)
  • center score line of the Whisper White Thick CS lined up with the score line in the card base, then the C-shaped areas at both ends glued onto the inside of the card base
  • cobwebs DSP pieces glued onto their corresponding scored areas of the Whisper White Thick CS

Beautiful Autumn Fancy Gate Fold Card

For today’s gate fold card, I used the Beautiful Autumn Bundle (Beautiful Autumn stamp set and Autumn Punch Pack,) Snow Time Dies, and Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper. It’s a simple fun fold, or fancy fold, that packs a lot of punch for little effort.
